The Lepin thread
Discussion
Jader,
Can I ask if you work, or are involved in Haymarket at all ? The way you post on the Other thread, you talk as if you are in some form a representative of theirs.
So after having a whole thread deleted, you have now started another one, about exactly the same subject. If the only problem was the title with the old one, why not ask the Mod you were in contact with to simply rename it ?

Nope, not a Haymarket employee. If I was the thread would have stayed deleted.
I work in an industry where IP, design, engineering, and brand value are what separates competitors. As I said in another post, my employer battles copyright infringement on a regular basis.
There was no discussion with the mod: I reported the thread and discussion and suggested they review it in line with their policy on copyright infringement. They chose the action, not me.
What concerns me is the fact that an organisation which operates in an environment where copyright is important seems to pick and choose when to stop discussion about products that breach it.
For example discussion on where to download film and music is deleted but a thread about a product that clearly violates the copyright of another company is left alone. The argument it is not being promoted holds no water: one poster admits to knowing nothing about it until he read the thread and then went and bought several sets, and a couple more were prompted to look into buying some as a result of it. The thread has therefore promoted the illegal product.
I'm now wondering why they have copyright PistonHeads on the website as they obviously don't feel it is relevant, yet I bet if I copied one of their articles and posted it on another forum as my own they'd get very upset.
I think I'm going to e-mail Haymarket direct and ask their opinion.

On the film thread you mentioned you watched "eddie the eagle" on 6th August. At that time it wasn't available on DVD or cinema in Australia on that date. So how did you manage it?
I only mention it because if you downloaded it or obtained a DVD from another region then you a massive hypocrite.

Top sleuthing! However you are wrong.I only mention it because if you downloaded it or obtained a DVD from another region then you a massive hypocrite.
I suggest you google the release date of Eddie the Eagle DVD in Australia. You'll find JB HiFi have it as the 3rd of August 2016.
I view illegal downloading as theft and have never done it. I used to have some interesting discussions with colleagues who view it as perfectly acceptable and have entire PC systems dedicated to doing it.

[quote=_MIKE_]This thread is a waste of server space, my original thread is already back up and running, no one is interested in your self imposed authority.

No one is forcing you to read it. Or comment in it.
Mind you 99.9% of PH is a waste of server space so I agree with you on that.
Also, one definition of "several" is "more than 2 but not many" so you did buy several
(Couldn't resist that, sorry)
And cheer up you've got your thread back. I promise not to post in it, or report it again.
